Ewewewewew, Becky, we're both on the list!!!! Wow, success is ours......but your posts are so intelligent and well thought out (you are quite a good writer) and mine come in shades of three - 1)smart alecky 2) contributory 3) ranty. Mmmmmm. Guess they aren't selective or we're blacklisted.

Hi,

I will repeat a post from the OB about the organic herbs that I grow outside of my kitchen. They are truly organic and receive no fertilizer with the exception of an occasional sprinkling of my own compost. I do water them occasionally and my neighbors dog gives them a daily rinse!

Truly organic.

Clorox is a little bit over-reactionary. Can't you just braise the bones in some fresh scent hand sanitizer gel? The alcohol would all cook off leaving a nice herbal note.

Seriously, I have my own level of concern that seems to work in our household. Interesting to discuss but not everyone will agree with each other. And disagreeing should not be taken personally, afterall this is just entertainment, not a NASA clean room policy we are debating.

No Frank, it was here. I had a post vanish from another site today too, so now I'm wondering if it's my machine. Or just me.

BeckyH,

I don't know what would make a post vanish from here. Maybe your session timed out (2 hours, I think) before you sent it?

When you write a really long post, it's generally a good idea to copy it to your clipboard just in case something happens with posting it. The Series of Tubes can be a bit flakey.

Light Bulb Oven,

A few years ago, I learned that mere boiling does not destroy pathogens/bacteria. In fact I received a long list of the incredibly deadly bad guys that would certainly kill my family who unknowingly digested my bacteria laden pan sauce.

It took about 10 seconds to google the information that all of these pathogens were anaerobic. The author scared everybody on the OB, made a moot point and was proud of dismissing my error in assuming that bacteria did not survive high heat.

I was so upset, I went out of my sealed environment to inhale some oxygen.

I once snatched a turkey carcass out of the trash after T-day dinner. My sister was going to toss it - I brought it home and made soup. It was clean trash. The soup was excellent.

I note my g/f came back the other night telling me how good the steak tartar at a local joint was. How does that go down with the PP?

If the meat was handled correctly it should have delicious as well as safe!
I love tartare, especially when it's made from properly minced meat, not just a pile of ground chuck.

We got back from the Piedmont in Italy where we all (including my 13 yr. old) were eating excellent veal tartar, heavy on the lemon. That should ring some bells...
